Our Week 8 call
Start Jeremy McNichols over George Holani in Week 8.
Market-based projections have Jeremy McNichols at 6.7 points and George Holani at 5.2, a gap of 1.5. Jeremy McNichols's number is scaled up from a partial market: not every stat the position needs is posted yet, so the rest is estimated from what is. No player market is posted for George Holani this week yet, so his 5.2 is the average of his market-based projections in Weeks 5, 6 and 7 (5.5, 5.4 and 4.6); the call is rebuilt when his market posts. Market coverage on Jeremy McNichols is 70 percent of what his position needs, so the market side of this carries proportionally less weight.
What the market projects
Player markets imply 6.7 fantasy points for Jeremy McNichols, with 70 percent of the markets a RB needs posted.
The market-based projection for Jeremy McNichols is 27 rushing yards and 0.3 touchdowns (8 and 7 market sources).
No Week 8 player market is posted for George Holani yet. His market-based projections were 5.6, 5.4 and 4.6 points in Weeks 5, 6 and 7, an average of 5.2, which stands in until his Week 8 market posts.
The market-based projection for George Holani is 0.3 touchdowns (3 market sources).
That puts Jeremy McNichols 1.5 points ahead of George Holani on these projections.
